Biocatalysts make chemical industry more sustainable but engineering enzymes is too slow! Check out our preprint Hollfelder Lab where we show how microfluidics & AI can help: We rapidly sequence-function profile an IRED in microdroplets and use AI to accelerate its engineeringā”ļø


Happy that I could contribute to this cool paper while at Diamond Light Source, brings back memories of building and refining the structure in the boiling heat of that 2022 summer. Congrats all authors:)

šŖļø Check out our whirlwind tour of the latest and greatest advances (well, for when it was published a month ago) in carbohydrate-active enzymes šŖļø. If you look closely you'll also find an unfortunate tale of gambling and co-first authorship order š¤¦āāļø. sciencedirect.com/science/articlā¦

Congratulations to Claudia on her award of an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant #ERCStG. We are very excited to welcome her back to Cambridge University as a research group leader and about her ground-breaking research to uncover the origins of cell membranes: bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/claudia-bā¦


Great to see the healthy pasta developed by The Supplant Company and our own Dupree Lab on the King's College, Cambridge menu.

Very excited to share our latest work on trophoblast specification in the marmoset, a superficially implanting species. Thank you to Dylan Siriwardena for expanding my horizons beyond the amnion.

Great turnout for Cafe Synth last night with fantastic talks from Timo Kohler Timo Kohler Cambridge Biochemistry Hollfelder Lab showing us the marvels of microfluidics and taking us to the Amazon Forest followed by Mark Davison Grant Instruments with new approaches to Temp Control


Thanks a lot for the invitation! It was the first time that I tried to combine my work on pluripotency and our conservation work at Hoja Nueva in one talk āŗļø

Congratulations David! This picture was taken just 10 days before he got the The Nobel Prize - Iām glad I got this one signed š ā Iāve never seen a lab like the Institute for Protein Design Such an inspiring place ⨠And congratulations of course also to John Jumper and Demis Hassabis!


Our spotlight "Advancing stem cell technologies for conservation of wildlife biodiversity" now online in Development's special issue on Uncovering Developmental Diversity. It has been an incredible privilege working with this fantastic group of authors! doi.org/10.1242/dev.20ā¦



Thank you European Research Council (ERC), feeling truly challenged by this project and can't wait to see it unfold šŖ The list of people to thank for the support is way too long, but I'm super grateful for everyone there ā¤ļø

Another annual pre-Xmas meeting of de novo & seq space explorers šThank you all for coming to Prague @bornberglab Hollfelder Lab & IvarssonLab
